Standard Reference Freeman 288

Date Sold	Category	Lot	Description	Sale Price
06/12/2020 Auction 171	English Coins	Lot 1577	Halfpenny 1862 Die Letter B to the left of the lighthouse, Freeman 288, dies 7+E, LCW on rock. EF/NEF with some edge nicks and light surface residue. By far the finest example we have offered of this extremely rare type, rated R18 by Freeman. In our experience the rarest of the three main die letter types. Online research shows NGC have only graded 2 examples, the highest graded 45, PCGS have not graded a single example, and LCGS have only graded 2 examples, the highest being Fine 25, so this potentially the finest remaining example More coins like this	£2,400

03/12/2018 Auction 163	English Coins	Lot 714	Halfpenny 1862 Die Letter B, Freeman 288 dies 7+E, Fine or slightly better for wear, with some contact marks and some verdigris to the left of the lighthouse, Very rare, we note there was no example in the Nicholson, Norweb or Andrew Wayne collections More coins like this	£500

18/03/2018 Auction 160	English Coins	Lot 2287	Halfpenny 1862 Die Letter B Freeman 288 dies 7+E VG the reverse a little better, in our experience the rarest of the three die letter types More coins like this	£550

05/12/2016 Auction 155	English Coins	Lot 1071	Halfpenny 1862 Die Letter B Freeman 288 dies 7+E NVF for wear the obverse with corrosion, the reverse less so with the B very bold and all major details very clear, very rare and seldom seen in any grade More coins like this	£240
